November 16th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
He's fast!!
November 16th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
hittin the woops soooo fast
November 16th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Who picked the song for this one? WU and Villo really….no really? Wouldnt Hank be more fitting? yee haa
November 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Nice Vid - Some body over at TWMX should lose their job over the music pick…
Nuth'n like gangster rap to make you feel like riding, ya know, becuse SX is full of gangsters…
Nuth'n worse than a gangster wanna be….
November 16th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
that song sucks
November 16th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
^^ these fools. The song is sick! The video is sick! Thanks guys.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
straight aways and turns=reed's style
jumps=stewart's style
shirt untucked and already up to speed=villopoto's style
November 16th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I think the song was fine and all you poser should shut up and go ride!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
sick video!! finally, a good update of a top rider!!
November 16th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
uhm…wtf.
being wierd = your style
November 16th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
YES RV is BAAACK! ! ! wathout Bubba
November 16th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Supercross sucks. Jump-jump-jump-turn-jump-whoops-turn-jump-jump-turn…you get the picture. Bring on the Nationals where the riders can go WFO over the roughest terrain possible!!! That's the true test of a rider. Supercross is just a sideshow. btw the song does suck.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
your right rap pumps me up keep it up twmx this guy is trippin
November 16th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
You guys that bash supercross are retarded. To ride SX you have to be badass on a motorcross bike. Its whole different animal, some guys are good at sx, arent as good outdoors, some are good outdoors cant do sx. Majority of people its "can ride outdoors, cant ride sx". Before you bash I'd like to see you do the jump sections and blitz the whoops and scrub tripples like the sx pros do.. they are unreal! If you ride a dirt bike you should be able to see how badass supercross is and if you arent you arent a true fan of the sport.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
ya what a nugget- i dont know about you and your knowledge of sx, but the king jeremy mcgrath- hugeeeee fan of rap- maybe thats what your missing in your riding
November 16th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
anyone can hold on and twist a throttle- supercross is what separates the men from the boys, its not jump,jump jump turn, its called styleeee- and maybe youve never been to one live but itsss insaneeeeeee, plus it brings dirtbikes to cities which dont have wide open fields, you need to stop sipping on haterade and ask somebody
November 16th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
thats for the great vid twmx
November 16th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
good point bine, i just thought off the top of my head of more: chad reed, bubba was in a rap video, stroupe is a intern writer at XXL, langston, tedesco- sorry guys but some of the fastest racer alive are fans of hiphop
November 16th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I totaly agree with you DB762… they make it look so easy lol… the guys that talk like that would shit theirs pants if they were airing a triple loool … MEN VILLOPOTO looks very confortable on the bike , much more than last year, this year he may have a shot on the title, hope he goes healthy to the outdoors because there he will destroy the competition!
November 16th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
thank you for accepting my comment
November 16th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
RV2 is the next carmichael, except he looks like he's got a lil more sx skill to him. Bubba I know is more scared of RV then he is of Reed. RV hasn't peaked yet in either mx or sx. I think he is one of the biggest reasons bubba won't do mx. He knows a guy with the skills like RC/RV in mx will cause him to ride the edge and hit the ground because of it. But the reality is, RV will also raise his game in sx till he is right there with both reed and bubba. There will be no safe place to hide from RV in the near future!
November 16th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Who is this artist?
November 16th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
The red headed assassin!
Cant wait to see him outdoors.
James is in trouble.
November 16th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Geez….you guys are amazing! You don't like the song? Here's a novel idea TURN YOUR SOUND OFF!!! RV looked good and looks to have a little more "style" this year so far, anyone notice how little the suspension compresses on his bike? Must be one helluva rough ride. As for James running from RV? I think not, wait and see when James' L&M contract is up and see if he returns to the Outdoors (which I hope he does) RV will be his main competition but no way James is running …..he signed a contract that allows him to sit them out! Granted if James doesn't return to the outdoors he will never have a legacy and will be overlooked as time goes on…..He is awesome on SX but needs to bring it in MX again
November 16th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Please, skip this shit sounding "music" and slow-mo stuff. Add some old-school Metallica or Slayer and skip the slow-mo and we're talking about a good video.
November 16th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
yeah some rap is alright for mx.. but this? hell no.
November 16th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Damn… looking crazy fast. Representing the NW very well I'd say.
November 16th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Looks like he lost about 12-15 pounds. Should be better for him.
November 16th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
RV wanted rap, and I love the WU…so deal with it.
Yeah, I put a smiley face. What of it?
November 16th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
antonio cairoli is racing in the US in 2010 and he is going to dominate RV,Reed and Bubba
November 16th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Hahaha good joke.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:03 am
I didn't say that supercross was easy. I mean that supercross is BORING to watch.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:06 am
I've been to many supercross races, and after Anaheim 1 I'm always ready for the Nationals to begin because every supercross track is very similar to each other. At least the outdoor tracks are all very different from each other.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:07 am
And not anyone can hold on and twist a throttle like these guys do. They hold it on further and longer than most peaple would ever dream about while hanging off the bike and going over really rough terrain
November 17th, 2009 at 12:08 am
*people*
November 17th, 2009 at 12:08 am
And you guys that bash the outdoors are retarded
November 17th, 2009 at 12:13 am
im fast
November 17th, 2009 at 12:14 am
in a rat look- alike contest
November 17th, 2009 at 12:27 am
that song looked sicker than any song could of with that video u guys are jus some squares if u dont like it
November 17th, 2009 at 12:28 am
Ok so they hit some jumps (65 foot max) and some whoops (sometimes good size) at somewhat fast speeds. Outdoors they run 5th gear wide open, rev limiter screamin, 2-3 deep braking bumps, 120 foot uphill triples that bust wheels and hubs when cased. Outdoors requires BALLS.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:31 am
great video twmx sound was sick and I must say rv is getting flashy in his old age, bike looks sick, new truck looks sick, he looks healthy riding kawi's test track wide going to be a great year
November 17th, 2009 at 12:31 am
Didnt he get ass raped in the des nations by Dungey and Reed. Rv is faster than both Reed and Dungey, so I think He can handle that lttle itai rat.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:51 am
he looks a little chubby..
November 17th, 2009 at 12:55 am
monster kawi is gonna have a great team in 2010 if they both stay un-injured, but BUBBA WILL spank both RV2 and reed in sx
November 17th, 2009 at 12:55 am
how fast r ya
November 17th, 2009 at 1:10 am
Your mom was fast last night…
November 17th, 2009 at 1:37 am
@ The Show Stopper , are you serious? recall Bud's Creek MXON? Cairoli tried to ride RV speed and went over a berm. all Antonio has is a weird ass style.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:46 am
whoever filmed this sucks! Why cant you keep him in frame.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:52 am
Too bad james isn't riding outdoors.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:53 am
Dream on! Antonio Cairoli barely beat Reed at his home track and Alessi, RV, and Stewart can kill Reed outdoors.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Well-said stuff!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:59 am
jeeze your right "stuff", supercross requires no balls- jeremy mcgrath- ball less, carmichael- none at all, bubba- none either, i mean who needs balls to go wide open into the first turn and jump over rhythm sections centimeters from each other- none, or how about coming out of a corner, picking one of twenty ruts to jump the 80 ft triple- that when cased puts you into the hospital-i mean what a stupid comment- especially bc if you ever saw mcgrath in the pits youd be on your knees- right at the level of his …..
November 17th, 2009 at 2:08 am
ya i hate to say it, but gingers gonna pass js7 in a red blur some coming season
November 17th, 2009 at 2:32 am
There are no 80 foot triples in SX. SX did not make Bubba, RC, RV, RD, who they are. I will say MC and Reedy got to be who they are bc of SX. And idk if you noticed but there are ruts outdoors as well. Wait a min, the only SX tracks that really rut up are OUTDOORS. First turn in SX with 20 guys, maybe in 3-4 th gear. Outdoors is 40 guys in 5th gear.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:47 am
VILLY IS SUPER FAST BUT HE DOSENT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TURN IT UP A NOTCH AND RIDE THAT EDGE LIKE STEWIE OR REED! PLUS HE DSNT COME THREW THE PACK WELL IN SX! IF HE GETS A BAD START OR CRASHES HE DSNT COME BACK AND GET TO A PODIUM POSITION.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:50 am
You guys are having a pointless debate. Supercross is technical and requires timing. Its a different skill set. The outdoors requires more physical strength, and the ability to hang it out. But even pro riders will tell you that supercross seperates the men from the boys. It takes more technical ability, and stratagy. If you disagree, its probably because you've never raced a dirt bike, in which case you have no place posting comments on this thread anyway.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:56 am
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a dumb thing to say. I doubt Antonio will even podium, unless there is a last lap crash that involves rv, reed, stewart, ivan, dungey, and the rest of the field, then MAYBE, just maybe he will get a top 3.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:57 am
75 ft is the biggest-most want to clear so they land 5 more feet- which 75+5= 80 ft- any bigger the lites couldnt make it, and yea id say watching bubba grow up racing on supercross style tracks- which he is quoted as saying is his favorite bc he loves to show off for the crowd- did make him who he is, where do you think he learned how to whip it???? you guys need to stop comparing and complaining and just love it for what it is
November 17th, 2009 at 3:05 am
he is sooo sick. i like the song
November 17th, 2009 at 3:53 am
Oh oh. I feel a freestyle battle breaking off here! My money's on Nate Adams?
November 17th, 2009 at 4:40 am
Idk if anyone else noticed but he even has his own parking area. There was a yellow sign on a building that said "RV Parking".
November 17th, 2009 at 4:41 am
NOT!!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:58 am
Show stopper you are an idiot! Cairoli if he races SX is going to get WAXED! And RV WILL beat him outdoors!
November 17th, 2009 at 5:25 am
Whhhaaat dont EVER hate on the Wu
November 17th, 2009 at 5:32 am
songg?????????????????????????
November 17th, 2009 at 5:57 am
whats the song?
November 17th, 2009 at 6:43 am
he'll be no problems for Reedy.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:20 am
tobias let's see the videos you make. yeah…didn't think so
November 17th, 2009 at 7:21 am
maybe if the race was eating corn on the cob through a chain link fence
November 17th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Raekwon,u-god (i think), and ghostface killah in that order
November 17th, 2009 at 11:19 am
wats the song name guys
November 17th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
sounds like jedi mind tricks / army of the pharaohs something like that
November 17th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Any special reason for the pink on his helmet? looks cool
November 17th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
for all the ppl arguing about sx and mx…it dont matter to RV. he is just like Ricky Carmichael….he will be dominant at both!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Tobias must be a goon rider
November 17th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
ooo burn lol.
November 17th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I love is style and is gear
November 17th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Does anyone know if Windham will join SX 2010??
November 17th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
RC could beat RV right now…stewart first off wasnt allowed to ride outdoors because of his contract so get your facts straight…no one can touch stewart anyways. Stewart will smoke everyone again in SX and MX if he rides.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
agree
November 17th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
does anyone know the songs name??
November 17th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
anyone know the name of this song?
November 17th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
DId you guys see hansens 250f in the background. Guess hes ridin the lites
November 17th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
haha but Ben Townley will be racing outdoors and he can give RV a run for his money!
November 17th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
good song. it's nice to finally hear something besides punk and screamo.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
the music gave me a headache while vilo kicked that track's ass
play smooth background music or fast punk rock but pull that rap crap.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
how do i turn off that crappy music? Great video but can't stand to watch it with the sound on.
Bummer
November 17th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
im telling yah!!!! Villo' is the 2-ten champ at least outdoors…he will be on fire this year….everytime the top dogs hurt a knee they dominate..and he can ride on the edge when needed…
November 17th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
i like the the sign on the storage building in the back that says RV parking here
November 18th, 2009 at 2:11 am
BUHSHURN!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 2:19 am
Uhh.. whoever said that sign that says RV parking means he has his own parking is stupid, it means parking for RV's (google it if you seriously dont know what they are)
PS: W-i-c-k-e-d a-w-e-s-o-m-e
November 18th, 2009 at 5:57 am
wuts this song called
November 18th, 2009 at 6:07 am
REEDS ONLY USING YOU TO TRY TO GET YOUR SKILLS. YOU AND HIM ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:11 am
the song is called " the game of rock " by ghostface killah and raekwon and prodigy from mobdeep
November 18th, 2009 at 6:21 am
like ricky charmical said, "when the best is there chad is third." oh reed GAME OVERxD
November 18th, 2009 at 6:22 am
um, ur all idiots, pay attention to the name, it took me a while too, but think b4 type
November 18th, 2009 at 6:25 am
BT isnt so hawt on 450, ive seen him + James might b in outdoors next season, oh ruhomer has it BT got fired from honda idk how true that is.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I like that huge sign that says "RV Parking" in the background by that storage place, that's just ironic.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
If you hate rap then your too old. thats what i like to say.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
i would love to see all u people sayin sx doesnt require balls take a section of 10 jumps in 3 like bubba does. i think outdoors is boring to watch on tv cus there are no jumps and you cant get a feel for how rough the track is unless u are really there.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
s2h your a little off. stewart aint scared of that little lepricon. reed actually has championships under his belt on the big bike. ricky could smashh rv in super x any day. if his contract would let him ride out doors he would blow rv's doors off
November 18th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Cairoli has beautiful teeth!!!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
time for him to pack it in…….he is suppossed to be with Geico for the indoors only (hopefully
after he couldn't get top 10 in either 250 or 450's)
November 18th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
ment to say if stewarts contract would let race outdoors.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Yeah thats why he hardly beat Reed at his hometown track in Italy at MXDN
November 19th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Anyone notice the "RV Parking" sign?
November 19th, 2009 at 1:05 am
REMEMBER THATS JUST A PRACTICE TRACK, THE ACTUAL SUPERCROSS TRACKS ARE HIGHER SPEED BROTHER
November 19th, 2009 at 1:07 am
LMAO LMAO LMAO
November 19th, 2009 at 8:40 am
Man…who picked the music for this video? I really didn't thing no one had the potenial to run the Wu Tang Clan with this video of RV! What style, heart and swag! I do believe Ryan is the next Champion in time. He the only one who will give Bubba any competition. Word up!
November 19th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Tobias….You just can't relate to the Wu. Trust me Bubba is down; Now so is Ryan. To be the best do what the best do! Word up!
November 19th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Ride on about the metal and the talent needed to keep a steady rythm in sx. because if u don't, bam slam. I agree that James should be in outdoors because most people can all relate to it. Soon he'll be just a shadow in the night.
November 20th, 2009 at 4:26 am
Music sounded good and riding looked good…..bout time!
November 20th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
anyone notice the rv parking sign halfway thru? hahaha
November 20th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
the only thing cairoli will race this year in the us is the des nations.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
tools all of you tools.
November 21st, 2009 at 1:42 am
Townley didnt get fired his contract went up cuz he was always hurt and couldnt ride, but hes on kawis now and is planin on doin outdoors with them, and the guys who bash sx are stupid it takes endurance to ride mx it takes mad skill and balls to ride sx id like to see you guys ride arenacross
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
the RV Parking business sign behind RV is funny.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:08 pm
sick kawi track off the fifteen in riverside. cleeeeaan track. sick vid, sick song. anyone know who this song is by??!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:42 am
I'm inpressed with his speed He,s got that lazy ride style, expending little effort. That good for long motos.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:27 am
In case you want the location of this track.
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&...
November 24th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
RV looks fast hopefully he can lay a beating on #7 .You would think that Kawi could afford a better track location than next to a main road and small compound they need to take a look at what Red Bull's looks like.
November 28th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
u got a point but i dont think any one can touch bubba in sx …but mx is diff rv will wax them all
November 30th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
this song is bad ass. stewart always has good music too. people need to stop bein so picky that they start whinin about the song on a video. if you dont like it turn it off and just watch him ride. thats what the videos about its not a music video for christ sake
November 30th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
i agree too. how can you say supercross is easy?! all these goons on here just want to sound fast so they say aww moto is so legit cause you just hold it pinned all the time. i highly doubt anyone on here who said that holds it pinned all the time you just dream of being anywhere near as fast as these guys are. and supercross is a whole different world. its about precision, timing, throttle brake and clutch control and a lot of balls. the stuff they hit is steep nasty and intimidating and they make it look like a joke. you guys that watch tv and then try to decide which is better are all morons. go to the races and then try to ride one yourself and then say sx riders suck. and im not bashing mx its on the same level just different
December 1st, 2009 at 7:23 pm
2010 Supercross and Motocross champion Ryan Villopoto
December 7th, 2009 at 2:22 am
I like it when people call it MOTORcross…. turns me on
December 8th, 2009 at 5:24 pm

December 9th, 2009 at 1:59 am

December 10th, 2009 at 5:20 am

December 12th, 2009 at 11:20 pm

January 30th, 2010 at 11:13 am
